   Great venue for live gigs, time of our visit very hot in there! Toilets are located upstairs, but for those who can't use stairs, there is a ground floor toilet across the court located within 4 monkeys bar. Bar staff friendly and service wasn't slow. Plenty of chairs in courtyard for smokers and those looking to cool down!

   Amazing venue. Large enough to create a great atmosphere, but all the seats give a great view of the acts. Comedy night performances were belly achingly good!

   Located in Rufus Court, found through a lane from Northgate Road or down narrow steps and a small iron spiral stair from the city walls. There are a few seats outside and some brightly lit doors to welcome you in the other bars were very dark and actually looked shut. Inside there are lots of vintage and retro objects on the walls and behind the bar that set the tone for the bar/cafe/venue. On a cold sunday afternoon I was glad of a hot coffee while another gentleman enjoyed tea at the bar. A little after lunchtime I was surprised thst they had a jazz/blues band set up for a free matinee performance that was well attended by mostly over 50s and a table of students. It was a very relaxed and profssional affair such as I have attended in St Malo, France and Edinburgh. The staff are very welcoming and the tables all had plenty drinks. I loved the lighting and the old school feel of the place although there are some great modern touches such as the record wall. I cannot wait to return for an evening with more live music and bring family on a visit from Scotland.

   If you're after a fun event space that oozes character, then try Alexander's Live. We're local to Chester so we were already familiar with the venue from our visits to their weekly Comedy Club (they're excellent too!) and decided that we wanted to host our wedding there. Our conversations were with Jamie, the venue's owner, who was faultless in his accommodation of our needs and wants for the big day. I was so pleased to hear that I could hang my homemade bunting up! We found him to be openminded and responsive— just what you want when you're organising any event! Jamie coordinated well with our other vendors too, ensuring they had all the information they needed to get set up for the day. The same can be said for all the staff at Alexander's Live. They gave impeccable service on the day - in fact, we can't praise them enough, they were such a dream: attentive, accommodating and pleasant. We are so incredibly pleased with how everything turned out and that we picked Alexander's as our venue. Photo credit: Luke Hassall Photography

   Went to watch Big Country acoustic session, a great place for live music. Service good at the bar, beer reasonably priced, staff friendly and helpful.

   Nice little place / bar tucked away down a courtyard. Staff were very pleasant and we had a good time. It was set up for a gig in the evening and looked as though it would be good. The gigs advertised looked good and the venue looked cosy. Also plenty of seating outside for summer out the back.

   Such a fantastic place! When we went to Chester for a few days, we kept coming back to this bar. We heard every type of music. Great acts and a great crowd. Loved the open mics.

   Great little venue for live gigs and comedy. Seats approx 70(?). Nice decor and bar but doesn't sell any dark beer.. sadly.
